II is proposed, or rather 1t has been
suggested, that the Illinois Supreme
Court decision in the anarchist cases be
published in cheap pamphlet farm for
circulation; the opinion being that the
document is SO clear and exhaustive in
all legal points hearing on anarchy as
preached and practiced by the con-
demned men, that it will prevent even
feeble attempts at its further promul-
CATION in America, besides restraining
some well-disposed Americans from
wasting their sympathies in the inter
est of Spies ct al.

THE United States census Of 1880
shows that state taxes in the thirty
states smaller than South Dakota aver
age q cents on each 500, and in the S
states which are larger than South Da-
kota they average SO cents on each
500 Of assessed values. In other words
state taxation averages about twice as
much on each dollar in the very large
states as it does in the medium sized
and small ones.

THE BLIND MATCHMAKER.
A Clever Workman who Did Not Let AT
fiction Discourage Him.

H'cilbn discourage iIlhl.
Many years ago there lived in the
town of Holbcach, England, a blind
matchmaker named William Rppin,
whose delicacy of touch and marvellous
skill in repairing watches were famous
throughout all the neighboring coun-
try. He was not born blind. either, so
that his singular faculty can not be ex-
planned Us congenital. After learning
his trade in regular fashion he COM
menced business at Holbeach, but three
or four years afterwards caught Sc
we're cold in his eyes. which resulted in
amaurosis, and although under the
treatment of the leading oculists of the
day, he became totally and hopelessly
blind at twenty-eight years of age. In
stead of being crushed by his msfor-
tune, he, by great aud untiring energy
and perseverance,. became one of the
most clever of blind men. His abil-
ity to clean and repair clocks, watches,
musical instruments and every article
connected with the business was truly
marvellous.
He was able to work as well as be-
fore his alliiction. He could do any re-
pairs required, even turning in verges,
etc. The only aid he required in tax
ing to pieces and putting together n
watch was in unpinning and pinning
the hair spring, which was impossible
for Il blind man to do, which was done
by his wife, whom he taught to work
at the business after his loss of sight.
He generally had ore hundred watches
in the shop for repairs, some of them
being brought from distance of one
hundred to two hundred miles. Every
watch he knew by the touch, and every
customer by his voice. Having been a
tirst-class cricketer previously, even
after his loss of sight he played two
single-wicket matches, both of which he
won. He could play cards. dominOes,
bngatelle, was good musician and
leader of the Holbeach brass band. He
was an intelligent man, nearly six feet
high, and many who saw and COR
versed with him were unaware that he
was blind. He died early in conse-
quence of the severe treatment of his
eyes, but the prosperous business he
left ut Holbeach was carried on sue
cessfully by his wife and daughter until
about tive years ago. -JeWelerS' Re-

italian love-Charms.

There are some pretty love-charms
in Capri. To win girls heart the
lover must steal hair from her head
and tie it to one of his own. So long
as the knot holds firm his love is re-
turned. This resembles the charm
used on the sacred hill of Monte YER
CINE, near Naples. There betrothed
pilgrims fasten broom twigs together
with strip of rag, and until the twigs
part their love endures. Rags fiutter
on every bush along the path to the
great sanctuary, and married couples
often return there to examine their
united twigs. Unmatched pairs prob
ably scorn to renew the pilgrimage.
Love-sick maids and men mix drop of
their blood in q little wine and per-
suade the object of their affections to
drink it. This is an infallible love-
philtre. A man may also win girls
heart by pricking her name upon
fig-leaf and letting the wind blow it
away.-EngIjsh illustrated Magazine.
